PREFACE 


Many  years  ago  the  late  J.  G.  Nichols,  F.S.A.,  \«^hose  good  work 
in  genealogical  matters  will  never  be  forgotten,  suggested  to  me  that 
an  investigation  of  the  numerous  unidentified  Coats  in  Blomefield's 
Norfolk  would  be  a  very  useful  piece  of  work,  and  ever  since  I  have 
from  time  to  time  noted  anything  which  proved  or  identified  early 
Coats  in  the  hope  that  I  might  some  day  undertake  such  work. 

Now  that  my  working  days  are  drawing  very  rapidly  to  a  close 
(I  am  in  my  75th  year)  I  think  it  best  that  such  memoranda  should 
find  their  way  into  print  for  the  benefit  of  the  next  generation,  so  I 
am  now  passing  them  through  the  Press. 

I  have  included  the  names  of  the  gentry  of  1433,  given  by  Fuller, 
and  a  similar  list  for  1500  given  by  Mason  (vol.  i.,  p.  110,  from  Coxe's 
MSS.  British  Museum  155,  fol.  365),  and  of  the  High  Sheriffs,  for  all 
these   no  doubt  bore   arms,  though  they  have  not  come  down  to  us. 

When  quoting  from  Dashwood's  Sheriffs  I  have  intentionally 
used  the  expression  "ascribed  by  him,"  for  I  fancy  that  in  the  cases 
of  many  early  sheriffs  he  has  assumed  that  they  bore  the  arms  which 
their  descendants  undoubtedly  bore,  and  this  much  discounts  the 
historical  value  of  his  book. 

I  have  thought  it  best  to  restrict  my  list  to  all  coats  proved  to 
have  been  borne  in  the  county  before  the  first  Herald's  Visitation 
of  1563.  It  may  be  asked  why  I  did  not  include  the  arms  borne  at 
such  visitation,  but  I  have  more  than  a  suspicion  that  the  heralds 
granted  many  new  Coats  at  such  visitation. 

I  had  intended  to  have  brought  out  this  collection  in  my  series 
of  Norfolk  Handbooks,  but  while  working  at  it  I  found  the  material 
grew  so  rapidly  that  it  was  impossible  to  do  so,  and  I  have  there^ 
fore  decided  to  print  it  separately  and  to  issue  in  another  part  a  rough 
ordinary.  My  chief  object  in  printing  this  and  the  ordinary  is  to 
enable  future  antiquaries  to  identify  the  very  numerous  unnamed  Coats 
which  occur  in  Blomefield  and  the  other  topographical  works  on 
Norfolk,  and  in  Church  windows,  monuments,  brasses,  <SJlc. 

In  the  list  of  abbreviations  will  be  found  the  names  of  the  sources 
from  which  I  have  mostly  collected  the  following  Coats. 

For  great  help  in  the  revision  of  the  proofs  I  am  much  indebted 
to  Capt.  E.  E.  Dorling,  F.S.A.,  the  well-known  authority  on  Heraldry, 
author  of  the  "  Heraldry  of  the  Church,"  1913,  "  Leopards  of  England," 
1913,  Sic,  who  very  luckily  for  me  is  stationed  just  now  in  Norwich. 

Of  course  this  compilation  cannot  be  considered  a  perfect  one, 
but  it  will  be  better  than  none,  and  I  shall  be  grateful  to  anybody  who 
will  add  more  Coats,  either  by  sending  them  to  me  direct  or  to  the 
City  Librarian,  Norwich,  in  order  that  they  may  be  written  in  the  inter^ 
leaved  copy  of  this  work,  which  I  have  deposited  at  the  Public  Library 
of  Norwich.  Exact  references  to  the  authority  for  the  new  Coats  must 
be  given. 

The  second  part  will   include   an   "ordinary"  of  all  the  Coats 
mentioned  in  the  first  under  the  headings  of : 
Bars  and  Barry.  Chiefs.  Pales. 

Bends  and  Bendlets.    Crosses.  Piles. 

Bordures.  Fesses.  Quarterly  of  4. 

Chevrons.  Orles. 

It  would  have  been  as  well  to  have  exactly  followed  the  methods 
of  Papworth  in  compiling  this,  but  I  felt  that  the  labour  would  be  too 
great  for  me,  so  I  hope  this  rougher  way  will  serve  the  purpose  of  those 
who  want  to  identify  old  monuments,  windows,  and  brasses.

58  List  of  Coat  Armour  used  in  Norfolk 

The  foregoing  list  has  about  1,617  entries.  I  included  in  it  all 
those  named  in  the  two  Lists  of  Gentry  of  1433  and  1500,  as  printed 
by  Fuller  and  Mason,  on  the  assumption  that  anyone  who  was 
described  as  a  gentleman  at  these  dates  was  probably  entitled  to  bear 
arms,  and  that  as  my  work  progressed  I  should  be  able  to  find  out 
what  such  arms  were. 

As  to  this  I  find  I  was  wrong,  for  of  the  379  odd  names  in  the 
1433  list  I  can  only  guess  at  arms  for  about  a  quarter  of  them. 

Nearly  all  in  the  1500  list  are  of  men  we  know  were  armigerous. 

Consequently  I  have  come  to  the  conclusion  (which  I  am  glad  to 
say  is  shared  by  the  Rev.  G.  H.  HoUey)  that  the  1433  list  was  not 
made  up  of  the  actual  gentry,  but  should  have  been  rather  styled  a 
list  of  the  more  important  citizens  and  others  as  well  as  of  the  gentry. 
This  view  is  borne  out  by  the  fact  that  I  find  it  includes  the  names 
of  many  local  mayors,  sheriffs,  bailiffs,  and  other  officials. 

Deducting,  therefore,  from  the  161 7  entries  three-quarters,  or 
283  of  its  379  names  in  the  1433  list,  we  have  left  about  1344 
undoubted  old  coats  to  be  analyzed  and  indexed  in  my  next  part. 

Such  part  will  contain  a  Classified  Index,  or  Ordinary,  with  all 
possible  cross  references  to  charges,  which  I  hope  will  prove  abso- 
lutely fool-proof  so  that  the  youngest  antiquary  ought  to  be  able  to 
identify  the  owner  of  any  coat  he  finds  in  his  church,  whether  on 
monument,  or  window,  or  in  old  houses. 

Another  feature  will  be  an  attempt  to  classify  the  various  coats 
and  try  to  ascertain,  as  the  late  Mr.  Ellis  did,  whether  many  of  them 
were  variants  of  the  superior  lords  of  those  who  bore  them.  Now 
that  so  many  valuable  books  of  reference,  such  as  the  Calendar  of 
Inquisitions  post  mortem,  and  the  Feudal  Aids,  have  been  issued 
which  were  not  available  to  Mr.  Ellis,  I  hope  the  results  will  be 
more  conclusive  than  what  he  showed. 

Many  of  the  statements  in  the  earlier  Herald's  pedigrees,  such 
as  Clere,  Cornwallis,  Paston,  and  Wodehouse  must  of  course  be  taken 
with  the  greatest  caution  as  to  the  alleged  arms  quartered  by  them, 
which  I  cannot  trace  ever  existed  outside  such  pedigrees. 

I  cannot  conclude  these  remarks  without  again  expressing  my 
many  obligations  to  Captain  E.  E.  Dorliug  for  the  great  trouble  he 
has  taken  in  correcting  my  proofs.  Without  his  help  this  work 
would  have  simply  teemed  with  inaccuracies,  and  his  weird  and  un- 
canny memory  of  some  coats,  and  his  intuition  as  to  others  have 
fairly  astonished  me.  If  we  have  differed  as  to  the  method  of  treat- 
ing Blomefield's  errors  I  can't  help  it,  for  I  felt  I  ought  not  to  omit 
the  coats  given  by  him,  however  wrong  they  may  seem  to  be,  as  his 
descriptions  are  what  he  thought  he  saw,  and  indeed  may  have  seen, 
(for  stonemasons  and  glaziers  are  not  infallible),  and  if  I  had  omitted 
them  altogether  I  should  have  been  accused  of  inaccuracy  in  this 
compilation.  So  I  thought  it  best  to  put  them  all  in,  right  or 
wrong,  and  specify  by  inverted  commas  or  otherwise  what  I  con- 
cluded came  in  the  latter  category.

PART     II. 


I  am  well  aware  that  I  shall  be  blamed  for  having  in  the  follow- 
ing index  omitted  the  colours  and  several  of  the  minor  charges. 
My  reason  for  doing  so  is  to  make  references  easier  for  those  looking 
up  coats. 

In  the  following  arrangement  anyone  can  see  for  himself  the 
main  features  of  the  shield  he  wishes  to  trace,  and  if  he  finds  it  is 
borne  by  three  or  four  families  it  is  easy  enough  to  turn  to  the  three 
or  four  names  and  judge  for  himself  which  is  the  most  probable  one. 

The  arrangement  in  columns  and  the  double  indexes  of  the 
charges  should,  I  think,  make  the  identification  reasonably  easy. 
To  the  expert  in  Papworth  of  course  nothing  can  supersede  his  work, 
but  to  the  novice  his  arrangement  is  very  confusing,  and  moreover 
the  book  itself  is  scarce  and  dear,  and  hard  to  be  studied  by  the  novice 
in  the  limited  time  he  can  give  in  a  public  library. 

I  greatly  regret  that  owing  to  the  illness  of  Capt.  E.  E.  Dorling, 
F.S.A.,  who  had  to  go  in  a  War  Hospital,  I  have  been  unable  to  get 
his  invaluable  co-operation,  which  so  greatly  helped  my  first  part.

PART     III. 


The  Theory  that  Tenants  took  their  Arms  from  those 
of  their  Superior  Lords  considered. 

I  propose  to  examine  the  theories  of  Edmondson,  Boutell,  aud 
Ellis  as  to  sub-tenants  bearing  their  lords'  arms,  more  or  less 
differenced. 

(i)  BouLell  is  the  boldest  of  the  three,  for  he  simply  assumes  that 
"  the  device  of  each  baron  or  knight  would  be,  with  a  few  excep- 
tions, assigned  with  appropriate  modifications  to  their  respective 
retainers  or  followers"  (p.  i). 

But  can  even  a  single  instance  be  adduced  of  a  sub-tenant  using 
his  superior  lord's  arms  unless  he  obtained  them  by  marrying  a 
daughter  of  such  lord,  and  so  used  thein  in  respect  of  her  portion  ? 

I  think  that  almost  every  instance  of  similarity  of  arms  will  turn 
out  to  come  under  this  category. 

The  negative  evidence  obtainable  by  looking  up  the  arms  of 
uotorious  sub-tenants  who  did  not  bear  anything  approaching  their 
lords'  arms  is  extremely  strong,  and  I  propose  to  go  into  it  later  aud 
give  some  details,  when  I  think  I  shall  be  able  to  show  that  nearly 
every  case  of  user  of  a  lord's  arms  arises,  as  I  have  said  before,  from 
marriages,  either  known  or  not  yet  suspected. 

Edmondson,  p.   155,  cites   (quoting  Guillim)  :     That  the  arms 
of  the  Earls  of  Leicester,  viz.,  Gu.,  a  ciuquefoil  erm.,  were  borne  by 
many  of  the  best  families  in  that  and  adjoining  counties,  viz, : 
Moton    ...         ...         Arg.,  a  ciuquefoil  az. 

Brailsford  ...         Or,  a  ciuquefoil  sa. 

Astley     Az.,  a  ciuquefoil  erm. 

Besington         ...         Az.,  on  ciuquefoil  or. 

But  he  does  not  show,  or  attempt  to  show,  that  any  of  them  held 
under  the  Earls  of  Leicester. 

(2)  Similarly  he  quotes  the  "  old  barons  of  Keudal  in  West- 
"  moreland  as  bearing:  Arg.,  2  bars  gu.,  and  in  a  canton  of  the  2nd 
"  a  lion  passant  or,  wherefore  many  gentlemen  of  that  county  and 
"  in  Cumberland  took  the  same  iu  diflferent  colours  and  charges  in 
"  the  canton." 

(3)  Hubert  de  Burgh,  Earl  of  Kent,  bore  :  Gu.,  7  lozenges  yair, 
3,  3,  and  I,  "  in  allusion  whereunto  Anselni  de  Guise  having  obtained 
from  the  earl  a  grant  of  lands  in  Bucks  aud  Gloucester  took  the  same 
coat  with  a  canton  or  charged  with  a  mullet  of  6  points  pierced  sa." 

(4)  The  Castle  of  Tunbridge  belonged  to  the  Clares,  who  bore  : 
Or,  3  chevrons  gu.,  "  and  therefore  the  family  of  Hardress  bore  Gu., 
•*  a  lion  rampant  erm.,  debruised  by  a  chevron  or,  to  denote  they 
"  held  the  manor  of  the  Castle  of  Tunbridge." 

But  in  each  case  there  is  nothing  to  show  that  the  second  coat 
was  not  borne  through  an  heiress  or  sister. 

Edmondson  also  quotes  the  following  instances  of  transfers  of 
arms,  which  I  have  arranged  in  order  of  date  :  — 

Sir  John  Carew,  temp.  Edward  I.  (1272-1307),  obtained  a  convey- 
ance of  the  arms  of  Mohun  to  him  and  the  heirs  of  his  body  from 
his  wife  Alianor,  daughter  and  co-heiress  of  William  de  Mohun,  aud 
his  descendants  quartered  such  arms.  But  here  again  there  is  noth- 
ing bearing  on  the  real  question,  for  he  would,  of  course,  quarter 
them  as  of  right  (p.  156).

the  arms  which  had  descended  to  him  through  his  heritage  from 
Monsieur  Baldwin  de  Manoires,  viz.,  Arg.,  a  saltire  engrailed  sa. 
(Bl.,  ii.,  pp.  436  and  155). 

T5  Richard  II.  (1391).  Thomas  Grendale,  of  Fenton,  cousin  and 
heir  to  John  Beauniays,  of  vSautre,  grants:  Arg.,  a  cross  az.  charged 
with  5  garbs  or,  the  arms  of  Beaumays,  to  William  Moigne  (p.  156). 

II  Henry  IV.  {1409-10).  Sir  Thomas  de  Clanvowe  grants  his  own 
arms  (not  specified)  to  his  cousin  William  Criketot. 

3  Henry  V.  (1414-15).  Margaret,  daughter  and  heiress  of  Sir 
Thomas  Daniers  or  Daniel  of  Bradley  in  Appleton,  granted  to  her 
son  by  her  second  husband,  John  Savage,  of  Clinton,  the  liberty  of 
using  her  paternal  arms,  but  this  instance  seem  of  little  interest  or 
value,  for  of  course  he  would  have  been  entitled  to  use  his  mother's 
arms  as  of  right. 

Perhaps,  however,  what  is  meant  is  that  he  was  to  use  such  arms 
only  as  a  new  coat. 

14  Henry  VI.  {1435-36).  Lady  Johanna,  late  wife  of  William  L/ee, 
of  Knightly,  granted  to  Richard  Peshale,  son  of  Humphrey  Peshale, 
her  shield  of  arms  {not  specified). 

r442.  A  charter  of  Humphrey,  Earl  of  Stafford,  and  of  Perche, 
I^ord  of  Tonbridge  and  of  Caux,  dated  the  xlij.  {sic.)  day  of  August, 
20  Henry  VI.  {1442),  to  one  Robert  Whitgreve,  a  shield  of  az.,  a 
quatre  points  d'  or',  4  chevrons  gu.,  and  for  crest  a  deuii-antelope  or. 

This  coat  does  not  appear  in  Burke. 

In  Norfolk  I  only  find  two  alleged  transfers  of  arms,  viz.,  the 
Morley  to  Corby  case  {already  quoted  under  the  date  of  1349),  and  an 
alleged  transfer  of  the  armd  of  Brampton  mentioned  in  Blomefield 
{vii.,  p.  436). 

It  may  possibly  be  that  when  a  man  bought  a  manor  he  assumed 
the  arms  of  the  former  owner,  but  the  only  case  which  bears  out  this 
idea  is  when  Sir  Giles  de  Bernham  sold  the  manor  of  Hellesdon 
to  Walter  de  Berney,  the  latter  used  arms  not  unlike  the  arms  of 
Bernham.     (Rye's  Hellesdon,  p.  156). 

But  here  again  the  families  may  have  been  connected  by  marriage. 

Another  way  to  get  at  the  truth  is  to  take  two  or  three  of  the 
better  known  Ordinaries  and  see  if  any  evidence  can  be  found  that 
those  who  use  them  derived  them  from  a  common  superior  lord. 

I.      QUARTKRI.Y. 

Take  for  example  the  well-known  "  quarterly  "  coat  of  Mande- 
ville,  which  may  well  be  guessed  by  some  to  have  been  the  origin  of 
the  numerous  '*  quarterly  "  coats  in  Norfolk. 

The  Mandevilles  however  held  nothing  at  Domesday  in  the 
county,  and  afterwards  only  possessed  land  here  by  marrying  the 
heiress  of  Eudo  de  Rye,  whose  possessions  in  the  county  consisted  of 
only  a  few  {nine)  lordships. 

Not  one  of  the  families  who  held  such  lordships  can  as  far  as 
be  traced  ever  used  a  quarterly  coat  at  all. 

But  as  though  to  accentuate  my  theory  that  arms  passed  through 
families  (not  necessarily  heiresses)  on  marriages,  we  find  that  William 
de  Say,  who  is  the  only  man  of  importance  who  bore  the  quarterly 


of  Goat  Armour  used  in  Norfolk  93 

coat  (though  not  a  Norfolk,  as  far  as  I  can  yet  find),  married  Beatrice 
de  Mandeville,  the  heiress  of  the  Maudevilles. 

II.    FeSvS  between  Chevrons. 

Now  let  us  tr)'  the  well-known  fess  between  chevrons  coat,  of 
which  we  have  nearly  a  dozen  instances  in  the  county. 

The  two  families  of  the  most  importance  who  bore  it  was  (i) 
Barnard  and  (2)  Clere. 

It  has  always  been  taken  for  granted  by  Blomefield,  Munford, 
and  others  that  it  was  the  Bainard  coat  of  Az.,  a  fess  between  two 
chevrons  or  (Nicolas'  Roll,  1308-14),  and  that  it  was  the  origin  of 
several  Norfolk  coats,  and  it  is  given  as  the  strongest  instance  of  arms 
passing  by  subinfeudation.  The  Baniards  certainly  have  the  advan- 
tage of  being  tenants  i7i  capite  { of  Bunwell,  v.,  p.  138),  whereas 

the  Cleres  were  not. 

But  it  is  by  no  means  certain  that  all  the  others  (including  the 
Cleres  themselves)  did  not  get  the  arms  by  marrying  Bainards,  and 
not  by  holding  lands  from  them,  though  indeed  they  may  well  have 
done  both. 

It  has  indeed  been  said  positively  that  the  Bainards  took  their 
two  chevrons  from  Clare,  but  I  think  the  boot  was  on  the  other  leg, 
for  the  Fitz  Walters  (who  were  Cleres)  held  the  barony  of  Barnard 
Castle  (v.,  p.  185). 

The  Bainards  lost  their  main  barony  for  rebellion  against  Henry 
I.,  and  it  was  given  by  the  King  to  Robert  Fitz  Richard,  son  of  the 
Gilbert  de  Clare  who  died  1134  (Stow,  p.  76).  I  don't  find  any  Robert 
Fitz  Richard  in  Round's  pedigrees  of  the  family. 

Sir  Richard  Baniard  bore:  Sa,  a  fess  between  2  chevrons  or 
(Nicolas'  Roll,  1308-1314). 

Part  of  their  old  holding,  viz.,  the  manor  of  Bunwell,  remained 
in  a  junior  branch  of  the  Bainards  (v.,  p.  138). 

In  the  aid  of  1347  William  de  Kerdeston  held  half  a  knight's  fee 
of  Frederick  Banyard,  and  he  of  John  FMtz  Walter. 

2.  The  Glares  originally  bore  3  chevrons,  but  though  they  held 
of  the  Bainards  (ii.,  p.  248)  I  don't  think  I  ever  noted  the  fess 
between  them,  though  their  descendants  the  Fitz  Walters  did  so. 

By  1 166  (Lib.  Nig.,  p.  12)  Robert  Fitz  Walter  gave  Filby  at  a 
knight's  fee  to  Ralph  de  Clere,  who  was  presumably  one  of  his  own 
family,  though  Norris  (Fleggs,  p.  117)  says  he  seized  it  again. 

3.  Later  on  Sir  IValter  Fitz  Walter  in  1424  bore  :  Or,  a  fess 
between  2  chevrons.  Whether  this  was  compounded  from  the  old 
chevrons  of  the  Clares  or  was  adopted  bodily  from  the  old  coat  of 
Bainard  when  they  (?)  got  a  grant  of  the  barony  of  Bainard  remains 
to  be  seen. 

4.  Cornherd  or  Cornherth,  a  Suffolk  family,  are  said  to  have 
held  under  the  Bainards,  and  to  have  used :  Az.,  on  a  fess  between 
2  chevrons  or. 

They  may  have  taken  the  coat  from  a  marriage  with  a  Bainard. 
Sir  Richard  de  Cornherd  occurs  in  the  Suffolk  Fines  of  1278,  and  his 
daughter  Alice  married  Sir  Thomas  de  Grey,  who  certainly  adopted 
the  Cornherd  arms. 

5.  De  Grey.  As  just  mentioned.  Sir  Thomas  de  Grey  married 
Alice  de  Cornherd,  and  adopted  her  arms  of:  Az.,  a  fegs  between  2 
c^ievroiAS  or, 


94  General   Index  to  Part  I. 

Their  son,  another  Sir  Thomas  de  Grey,  married  Isabel,  daughter 
and  co-heiress  of  Frederick  Baynard,  but  this  of  course  does  not 
account  for  their  using  the  Bainard  arms,  as  they  ha(i  used  them 
earlier. 

6.  Walpole.  Henry  de  Walpole  iu  1265  bore  :  A  fess  between 
2  chevrons  (Bl.,  vii.,  p.  106),  and  Bishop  Ralph  Walpole,  who  died 
T301,  bore  :  Or,  on  a  fess  between  2  chevrons  3  eagles  of  the  field. 

The  Bainards  held  in  Tilney  near  Walpole,  but  there  is  no 
suggestion  that  the  Walpoles  held  under  them,  and  here  again  it  is 
more  probable  they  took  the  arms  from  some  Bainard  ancestress,  who 
cannot  now  be  traced. 

7.  Hemenhale,  Sir  Ralph  de,  on  the  Nicolas'  Roll  (1308-14) 
bore:  Or,  on  a  fess  between  2  chevrons  gu.,  3  escallops  arg.  Bishop 
Hemenhale,  elected  1337,  bore  the  same  arms.  Blomefield,  v.,  p. 
185,  says  they  bore  the  arms  of  Fitz  Walter,  their  superior  lord,  as 
they  held  of  Fitz  Walter  barony  of  Bainard's  Castle. 

8.  Pecohe,  Sir  Gilbert  de,  on  the  Nicolas'  Roll  (1308-14)  bore  : 
Arg.,  a  fess  between  2  chevrons  gu. 

The  daughter  of  Sir  vSimou  de  Pecche  is  said  to  have  married 
Walter  de  Paston,  and  the  arms  were  quartered  by  Paston,  vi.,  p  494, 
also  Norfolk  Families,  p.  957,  quoting  Norf.  Archy.,  iv.,  p.  it. 

9.  Teye,  Sir  Walter  de,  is  said  to  have  borne  :  Or,  on  a  fess 
between  2  chevrons  gu.,  3  mullets. 

This  is  not  in  my  Norfolk  collection,  but  ciica  1470  the  Essex 
family  is  said  (vii.,  p.  472)  to  have  borne:  Arg.,  a  fess  between  2 
martlets  in  chief  and  a  chevron  arg.  in  base. 

The  Norfolk  family  bore  :  A  bend  between  crosslets  fitchy. 

10.  Gerbrig^e,  circa  1460,  are  said  by  Brackley  to  bear:  Sa.,  a 
fess  between  2  chevrons  or,  but  the  family  earlier  bore,  Rrm.,  on  a 
chief.  Their  superior  lords  at  Wickhampton  (xi.,  p.  135)  were  the 
Bigots,  and  I  can  trace  no  connection  either  with  Baniard  or  Clere, 
except  in  the  more  or  less  mythical  pedigree  of  the  Pastons  (Norf. 
Archy.,  iv.,  p.  16),  where  Thomas  Gerbridge  is  said  by  Brettan, 
daughter  of  Robert  Banyard,  to  have  had  a  son,  Edward  Gerbridge, 
who  married  Margaret,  daughter  and  heiress  of  Philip  Peyver. 

11.  Say,  of  Lynn,  ciica  1274,  is  said  to  have  borne  :  Gu.,  a  fess 
between  2  chevrons  arg.,  but  this  is  very  unlike  the  old  coat  of  Say 
{see  Mandeville  ante). 

So  if  we  analyse  the  eleven  coats  of  a  fess  between  chevrons  we 
find:— 

1.  Bainard  and 

2.  Clare,  and  in  my  opinion  the  former  was  the  elder,  and  that 
the  Clares  took  their  coat  from  Bainard. 

3.  Fitz  Walter.  Here  it  seems  probable  that  the  family  adopted 
the  Bainard  coat  when  they  got  a  grant  of  the  barony  of  Bainard. 

4.  Cornherd  certainly  adopted  the  Bainard  coat,  but  whether 
by  marrying  a  Bainard  or  by  holding  under  the  Bainards  is  not  clear. 

5.  De  Grey,  who  adopted  the  Cornherd  arms,  certainly  did  so 
on  marrying  Alice  de  Cornherd. 

6.  Walpole  may  have  got  the  Bainard  coat  through  some 
marriage  with   the  Bainards,  who  held  Tilney  {}). 

7.  Hemenhale,  who  are  said  to  hold  pf  the  Fitz  Walters'  barony 
pf  Bainard's  Castle.

8.  Pecche.     No  trace. 

9.  Teye.     No  trace. 

10.  Gerbrigge,  but  they  held  Wickhainplon  of  the  Bigods. 

11.  Say,  of  Lynu.     This  only  appears  in  C.  127. 

III.     Ori,es. 

These  are  primarily  composed  of  one  or  two  lines  passing  round 
a  shield,  the  French  term  being  "  bordured."     (Cokayiie,  p,  362). 

Of  these  we  find  several*  in  Norfolk,  some  of  which  are  better 
known  as  Scotch  coats,  and  they  probably  have  a  common  origin, 
if  we  could  find  out  what  it  is. 

1.  Balliol  '...  Gu.,  an  orle  or. 

2.  Lindsey  ...  Gu.,  an  orle  vair. 

3.  Waleis  ...  Gu.,  billetty  or,  an  orle  erm. 

4.  Breous  ...  Krm.,  a   lion    rampant,   and  round   it  six 

small  shields  each  bearing  a  plain  cross. 

None  of  these  were  great  Norfolk  families  at  a  date  when  their 
arms  mijj;ht  have  set  an  heraldic  fashion. 

It  will  no  doubt  be  considered  by  Scotch  heralds  the  rankest 
heresy  when  I  suggest  that  the  Lindseys  may  have  originally  come 
from  Lindsay  in  Marshland,  and  not  from  the  Norman  family. 

The  "orle  "  mentioned  above  no  doubt  suggested  the  term  "in 
orle  "  where  martlets  and  other  charges  were  arranged  round  the 
shield  following  its  outline. 

Of  these  we  have  (besides  the  four  "Scotch"  coats  just  men- 
tioned) over  a  dozen  in  Norfolk,  which  I  detail  below.  The  chief 
were  the  families  of  Valence  and  Vaux,  but  here  again  we  are  met 
with  the  difficulty  that  neither  of  them  was  a  large  holder  in 
Norfolk. 

1.  Valence,  Earl  of  Pembroke,  whose  coat  in  Winfarthing 
Church  (i.,  p.  184)  is:  Barry  of  10  arg.  and  az.,  an  orle  of  martlets 
gu.,  which  has  more  or  less  been  transmitted  to  Pembroke  Hall, 
Cambridge,  through  its  foundress,  the  wife  of  Aymer  de  Valence. 

The  only  possible  instance  of  their  transmitting  the  orle  arises 
thus:  William  de  Valence,  Earl  of  Pembroke,  had  a  grant  of  Filby 
about  50  Henry  III.  (1265-6),  and  the  family  of  Filby  [post)  bore  :  Arg., 
an  inescutcheon  and  an  orle  of  martlets  gu.  (viii.,  p.  197,  and  xi.,  p. 
217).  The  Filbys  may  however  have  been  a  junior  branch  of  the 
Valences,  or  may  have  married  a  sister  or  daughter  of  that  family. 

The  same  remark  applies  to  Holland  {post  14). 

2.  Vaux.  William  de,  in  the  Nicolas'  Roll  (1308-14)  is  said  to 
have  borne 

Arg.,  an  escutcheon  within  an  orle  of  martlets  gu.,  and  next  to 
him  on  the  Wodehouse  Roll  was  vSir  Ralph  de  Roying  (Rothing  in 
Essex),  who  bore  :  [Arg.]  2  bars  gu.,  within  an  orle  of  martlets  [gu.] 
{See  post  2))' 

•Burke  also  gives  :  5.     Anguish     ...     Arg.,  an  orle  gu. 

But  this  I  think  may  only  be  a  guess  dating  from  the  period  when  the  Anguishs 
of  Norfolk  began  to  think  themselves  worthy  of  bearing  arms  and  fancied  they 
came  from  Angus  of  Scotland. 

The  guess  may  have  been  right  as  far  as  the  Scotch  origin  is  concerned,  but 
iVngus  of  Scotland  bore  a  totally  different  c6at,  so  did  the  Norfolk  Anguishs. 


96  General    Index  to  Part  I. 

Whether  this  juxtaposition  shows  relationship  or  tenancy  does 
not  appear. 

But  as  to  the  Vaux  coat  we  are  met  with  the  important  difficulty 
that  the  Norfolk  family  of  Vaux,  who  founded  Pentney  Priory  never 
bore  the  orle  at  all,  but  a 

Cheeky  or  and  gu. 

Cheeky  arg.  and  gu.  (i.,  p.  332). 

Cheeky  or  and  gu.  (iv.,  p.  334-520). 
which,   if  it   proves    anything    shows    some   connection    with    the 
Warrens. 

3.  Roying  or  Rothing.  Sir  William  de  Rothing  was  Sheriff 
of  Norfolk  in  1284,  and  Dashwood  in  his  Sheriffs  ascribes  to  him 
[Arg.]  3  bars  and  a  bordure  of  martlets  of  the  2nd.  He  held  what 
was  afterwards  Thorp  Place,  which  Ralph  de  Rothing  sold  in  1290, 
and  was  probably  the  Ralph  who  in  the  Nicolas'  Roll  (1308-17)  bore 
Arg,,  3  bars  gu.  within  a  bordure  of  martlets  gu. 

Ralph  held  half  a  Knight's  fee  in  Titleshall  and  Wellingham  of 
Fitz  Walter  as  of  the  Barony  of  Bainard  (x. ,  p.  63),  and  the  family 
also  held  in  Pauxworth,  South  Walsham,  and  Hemblington,  the 
second  under  de  Botefort,  but  there  is  nothing  to  suggest  any  connec- 
tion with  either  Valence  or  Vaux. 

4.  Begevile,  of  Winterton,  bore  :  Sa.,  an  inescutcheon  and  an 
orle  of  martlets  or  (xi.,  p,  199).  They  were  sub-tenants  of  St.  Benet's 
Abbey,  but  here  again  1  see  nothing  to  connect  them  with  either  of 
Valence  or  Vaux.  The  fact  that  the  Hautboys  {post  6),  who  also 
bore  an  orle,  were  also  tenants  of  St.  Benet's,  seems  to  suggest  some 
connection  between  the  two  families,  and  with 

5.  EiFpingham,  who  bore  :  Vert.,  an  inescutcheon  within  an 
orle  of  martlets  arg.  at  Banham,  i.,  p.  356;  Barningham,  viii.,  p. 
2!o7  ;  vi.,  p.  4T3«  ;  ix.,  p.  257. 

The  arms  of  Sir  Thomas  also  occur  at  Foulsham,  but  here  it  was 
probably  through  a  fighting  connection  with  Thomas,  I/ord  Morley. 

The  only  possible  connection  with  Vaux  is  that  one  of  the 
Erpingham  manors  belonged  to  Roger  Bigod,  of  whom  Robert  de 
Vallibus  held  four  knights'  fees  in  Liber.  Niger. 

6.  Hautbois.  Peter  de,  bore :  Barry  an  orle  of  holly  leaves 
proper. 

His  father,  William  de  Hautbois  was  steward  of  the  Benet's 
Abbey  and  als©  held  under  the  Warrens. 

That  Bartholomew  de  Reedham  {see  post  12)  claimed  land  at 
Hautbois  (v.,  p.  301),  and  that  William  de  Reedham  was  said  to  bear 
an  escutcheon  within  an  orle  of  martlets  seems  to  show  some  con- 
nection between  the  two  families. 

7.  Filby  {see  ante  under  Valence  No.  i).  In  Brandeston 
Church  window  (viii.,  p.  197)  this  family  is  said  to  bear:  Gu.  and 
arg.,  an  inescutcheon  and  an  orle  of  martlets,  and  as  to  Filby  (and 
see  xi.,  p.  217)  held  under  the  de  Valences,  and  this  may  show  either  a 
descent  or  a  sub-infeudation  from  them. 

8.  Billys.  This  family  is  said  by  Friar  Brackley,  No.  11,  to 
bear  :  Gu..  an  inescutcheon  in  an  orle  of  martlets,  and  it  is  said  this 
was  the  early  coat  of  Reedham,  but  the  real  coat  of  Reedham  would 
seem  to  be  a  chevron  between  reed  sheaves.     {See post,  No.  ii|,

9.  Bssex,  Katherine  de,  of  Oulton,  impaled  an  inescutcheon 
within  an  orle  of  martlets  (Bardolph  Seals,  viii.,  No.  7). 

G.  A.  Cokayne  (i.,  p.  222)  thinks  there  was  some  connection 
between  the  orle  borne  by  Henry  de  Essex,  a  feudal  baron,  with  the 
orle  of  the  Balliols. 

10.  ISTakefleld  is  said  to  have  borne  an  inescutcheon  within 
an  orle  of  martlets  or. 

This  occurs  in  Brackley  (N.A.M.,  iii.,  p.  436),  but  it  is  probably 
a  confusion  with  Walcote  {see  No.  11),  and  indeed  it  has  been  so 
corrected  in  the  MS. 

11.  IfiTalcote.  Three  Norfolk  Armories  (A  490)  gives  the 
family  as  bearing:  Az.,  an  inescutcheon  within  an  orle  of  martlets 
or.  But  the  seals  at  Stow  Bardolph  {2nd  ser.,  ii.,  Ko.  9)  gives  Walcote 
as  bearing  three  stags'  heads. 

12.  Reedham.  William  de  Reedham,  who  was  sheriff  in  1278 
is  said  to  have  borne:  Gu.,  an  escutcheon  within  an  orle  of  martlets 
(Henry  III.  Roll  ;  Foster,  p.  205  ;  Anderson  and  St.  George  Roll). 

In  1275  Bartholomew  de  Reedham  claimed  land  in  Hautbois  (v., 
p;  301),  and  we  know  that  the  family  of  de  Hautbois  (see  ante  No.  6) 
also  bore  an  orle,  &c. 

But  we  are  met  by  the  fact  that  the  real  coat  of  Reedham  was  : 
Gu.,  a  chevron  between  3  reed  sheaves  (Dashwood,  Bl.,  v.,  p.  197,  and 
xi.,  p.  252). 

13.  Parnell  or  Paynell.  A  Hampshire  family  of  this  name 
bore  :  Two  bars  within  an  orle  of  6  martlets  (Burke). 

Blomefield  (vi.,  p.  313)  gives  a  modern  (1687)  and  totally  different 
coat,  viz.,  Gu.,  2  chevrons  arg.  to  Paynell  of  Belaugh. 

14.  Holland,  John  de,  bore  at  Boroughbridge  in  1322  :  Gu., 
2  bars  ...  6  martlets  in  orle,  and  Hugh  Holland  in  Edward  III. 
Roll  bore  the  same  with  9  martlets  in  orle,  but  I  do  not  think  they 
were  of  Norfolk,  and  the  Hollands  of  Quidenham  bore  a  totally 
different  coat. 


Analyzing  these  we  find 

Barry,  an  orle  of  martlets  or  3  bars 


An  escutcheon  within  an  orle  of  martlets 


An  escutcheon  with  an  orle  of  holly  leaves 
The  "  holly  leaves"  in  the  last  coat  may  well 
be  a  misreading  of  martlets.

General    Index  to  Part  I. 


The  investigatiou  of  the  three  foiegoiug  Ordinaries,  viz.,  the 
coats  ill  which 

(i)     Quarterly, 
(2)     Fess  between  chevrons, 
.  (3)     Orles, 
are  the  chief  features,  will  sufficiently  show  how  little  the  theories 
are  borne  out  by  the  facts. 

It  would  be  a  waste  of  time  to  attempt  by  similarly  investi- 
gating the  innumerable  coats  bearing  bends,  fesses,  chevrons,  &c. , 
to  amplify  this  conclusion. 

As  to  charges  we  might  go  into  detail,  especially  as  to  the  liion, 
which  has  always  been  thought  to  have  originated  with  the  Bigods. 

Of  the  41  sub-tenants  of  the  Bigods  the  arms  of  only  three  (Cole- 
ville,  Raimes,  and  Verdon)  seem  to  have  any  direct  connection  with 
the  Bigods. 

Now  let  us  take  another  case. 

IV.     Checky. 

Cheeky  or  az.  was  the  coat  of  Warren,  who  were  of  the  land- 
owners in  capite. 

The  17  Norfolk  families  who  bore  Checky,  or  a  variation  of  it 
were 

Baldock  Mouutny 

Beckham  Roydon 

Breccles  Sharrington 

Calthrop  Spriggy 

Caly  Tateshall,  Lord 

Clifton  Thorp 

Fitz  John,  5^1?  Thorp  Vaux 

Hackford  Winter 

Malie 
Of  these  17  I  can  only  find  that  six,  viz., 

Breccles  Fitzjohn 

Calthorp  Thorp 

Clifton        ^  Vaux 

held  lauds  which  once  were  of  the  Warrens,  viz., 

1.  Breocles  (ii.,  p.  275).  William  de  Warren  is  said  to  have 
given  a  manor  here  to  Thomas,  son  of  Godfrey,  son  of  Albert  de 
Fransham,  who  bore  :  Checky  or  and  sa.  This  family  is  said  to  have 
afterwards  taken  the  name  of  Grimston,  but  none  of  the  last  name 
ever  bore  anything  like  this. 

2.  Calthorp  (i.,  p.  249).  William  de  Warren  held  a  manor  in 
Bio'  Norton  called  Brome  Hall,  and  Blomefield  says  he  saw  in  the 
kitchen  window  of  Brome  Hall  the  arms  of  Calthrop,  viz.,  Checky 
arg.  and  az.,  a  fess  erm. 

The  manor  of  Mortimer's  at  Attleborough  (i.,  p.  506)  is  said  in 
1403  to  have  been  held  at  one  fee  of  the  Earl  Warren,  and  in  a 
window  there  (i.,  p.  529)  were  the  same  arms  of  Calthorp. 

3.  Clifton  (i.,  p.  5*8).  At  Attleborough,  where  I  have  just 
mentioned,  William  de  Warren  had  a  manor,  were  the  arms  of 
Clifton:  Checky  or  and  gu.,  a  bend  erm.,  but  the  Clifton  holding 
here  seems  to  have  not  begun  till  before  1457  {id.^  p.  505). 


of  Coat  Armour  used  in  Norfolk.  99 

The  Cliftons  however  certainly  held  some  of  the  Warren  lands, 
e.g.,  William  de  Warren  (vi.,  p.  87)  held  a  manor  in  Didlington, 
which  descended  to  the  family  of  Holditch,  but  in  the  Church  were 
the  arms  of  Clifton  as  last  given. 

At  Denver  (vii.,  p.  315)  a  manor  called  West  Hall  was  held  by 
Hugh,  of  the  Earl  Warren,  and  in  the  Church  (p.  319)  were  the  same 
arms  of  Clifton,  and  it  is  noticed  that  the  Cliftons  presented  to  the 
Church  1349-T430. 

4.  Fitz  John  (ii.,  p.  254)  or  Thorp.  Earl  Warren  held  a 
manor  at  Stanford  (p.  251)  and  the  Mortimers  held  under  him  {see 
ante  i.,  yi.  506).  In  20  Edward  III.,  Constantine  de  Mortimer  held 
half-a-fee  of  the  Earl  Warren,  late  of  John  de  Thorp  {see  sub  Thorp 
No.  5). 

In  the  Church  (p.  254)  were  once  the  arms  of  Fitz  John,  but  they 
are  there  said  to  be  Quarterly  or  and  gu.,  a  bordure  vairy  az.  and  arg. 

5.  Thorp.  [See  the  last  entry).  This  family  of  Thorpe  must 
not  be  confounded  with  the  Thorpes,  of  Massingham  and  Ashwell- 
thorpe,  who  bore:  Az.,  3  crescents  arg. 

6.  Vaux.  (i.,  p.  332).  Earl  Warren  held  a  manor  in  East 
Harling  which  afterwards  came  to  the  Bardolfs.     (i.,  p.  318). 

In  the  window  at  East  Harling  were  the  arms  of  Vaux.  Cheeky 
arg.  and  gu.,  on  a  chevron  az.,  3  roses  or. 

There  were,  however,  the  arms  of  the  great  family  of  Vaux,  of 
Trierman,  the  alleged  ancestors  of  Lord  Brougham  and  Vaux. 

In  the  windows  at  Carrow  Abbey,  Cheeky  or  and  gu.  were  used 
for  Vaux. 

But  the  coat  of  William  de  Vaux,  1308-24,  was  an  inescutcheon 
between  an  orle  of  martlets. 

Again,  take  the  arms  of  Rye,  who  through  the  Beaufoys  at  one 
time  held  34^  knights'  fees,  and  bore  :  Gu.,  a  bend  erm. 

Their  sub-tenants  as  shown  by  the  Lib.  Nig.  and  Lib.  Rub. 
Scace.,  were 

Baduent  Hubert  de  Goet  William 

Bella  fago  Ralph  de  Herleham  Roger  de 

Betevill  Ralph  de  Esehaliers  Henry  de 

Caisneto  Wm.  de  Lupell  Wm. 

Carun  Ran.  de  Valain  Wm.  de 

Drayton  Alexr.  de 
But  not  one  of  these  eleven  bore  any  bend  or  variant  of  it.  On 
the  other  hand  we  know  that  the  barony  went  to  the  Marshalls,  and 
we  find  they  bore  :  Gu.,  a  bend  indented  or,  which  is  strongly  in 
favour  of  the  idea  that  the  arms  followed  the  descent  and  not  the 
sub-infeudation. 

Nor  does  an  examination  of  the  arms  of  the  13  sub-tenants  of 
de  Albinis  show  anyone  bearing  the  lion  rampant. 

The  same  remark  applies  to  the  nine  sub-tenants  of  the  Worme- 
gai  holding.
